2025 NFL Draft - Round 1 Discussion


Recommended Posts

Tampa Bay selected a WR for some reason, after getting Evans and Godwin back. That means Egbuka will likely play in the slot for Tampa. They had Jaylen McMillan from Washington go off for them last year too. 

Weird that they didn't go defense, but they will have an absolutely stacked offense next year.

XL was able to run by some guys last season and then promptly dropped the ball or didn't track it correctly.

I will say that he definitely doesn't play like a sub-4.4 guy. 

But he is in no way shape or form "slow."

XL is always open. Looking forward to him catching the ball better this year.

combine be damned there is no way you can argue XL is a fast player watching his tape, same with Tet.  They are not fast players.  Mike kaye even made a thing about it last training camp

X is fast...once he gets going...and is running in a straight line.

Look, man, there is room for improvement. Stop judging him on a partially busted first season.

He for sure was not always open. He was a much better route runner than expected but he got flat out shut down plenty of times during the season.

    • When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
